  Step 1

  Use the following table to determine exactly what materials you need:

• 

  Step 2

  Cut your fabric and interfacing to the Fabric Size listed in table. You can use scraps of interfacing if necessary. The interfacing will make the collar stronger and more durable.

• 

  Step 3

  Iron interfacing to the wrong side of your fabric (opposite pattern side). Follow the instructions for your interfacing and use the appropriate setting on your iron for your fabric. I used cotton, so I used the cotton setting.

• 

  Step 4

  Fold a 1" hem on each short side of the fabric and iron it in place.

• 

  Step 5

  Fold your fabric along the long side (aka hotdog style). Iron this fold in place.

• 

  Step 6

  Fold each side of the long side towards to center. Iron this fold in place. Your fabric should now be folded and pleated into even fourths with a 1" hem on each side.

• 

  Step 7

  Cut your webbing to the Webbing Length list in the table.

• 

  Step 8

  Wrap your webbing in your fabric. Unfold your fabric and place the webbing in the outside pleat. Place the webbing under the 1" hem on the outside edges. Then, fold your webbing along the pleats causing the fabric to wrap around it. Pin the fabric in place to the webbing.

• 

  Step 9

  Sew the edges of your collar down. Load your collar under the foot with the edge close to the needle. Sew down one side. When you get to close to the edge, stop, lift the foot but leave the needle in, rotate your fabric 90 degree, and sew next edge. Repeat this until you are back to where you started.

• 

  Step 10

  Attach the triglide. Thread one side of the fabric around the middle and pull it through about an inch or two. Stitch down the width of your collar by sewing the loose end back to the collar itself. Back over the entire stitch to make sure it is secure. Place a second line of stitched closer to the triglide for added security.

• 

  Step 11

  Attach the male part of your buckle. String the male part of you buckle through your collar.

• 

  Step 12

  Fold the fabric back through the triglide.

• 

  Step 13

  Place the D ring on

• 

  Step 14

  Then place the female buckle on

• 

  Step 15

  Pull the end of the fabric through the buckle about 3 inches and sew the free end back to the collar. Once again, I backed over the entire seam to secure it.

• 

  Step 16

  Slide the D ring down against this seam, and sew another seam as close to the buckle as you can get.

• 

  Step 17

  With the D ring still against that first seam, sew a third seam a little farther over from the female buckle.

• 

  Step 18

  Push your D ring against the seam you just made (the third seam). Sew a fourth seam on the other side of the D ring as close as you can get to the D ring.

• Step 19

  Adjust the triglide to make the collar the appropriate length for your dog's neck.

• 

  Step 20

  Place and the collar around your dogs neck and buckle shut.
